Bin Laden did invoke Palestine when he explained his reasons for orchestrating this.
- avgcorrection 4y agoSo?
- anonu 4y agoI am providing additional context to the comment I replied to above. The comment points out that in the hours after the event there was discussion on the fark forum regarding Palestine. I'm merely stating a fact. No need for downvotes.
- avgcorrection 4y agoAs a reply to a post about intent (quoting that Palestine did this), your additional context is about as relevant as the price of tea in China.
- saghm 4y agoAnyone can invoke anything as a rationale for doing something. That doesn't automatically make it true, and it certainly doesn't make any parties they reference automatically culpable. There could be any number of reasons for citing an unrelated party, like to try deflect blame to a scapegoat or to try to motivate others to join one's cause. I don't think it's particularly controversial to suggest that there could be other motives for his statement than just wanting to clarify any confusion people might have.
- hosteur 4y agoDo you have a source for this claim? Both that he admitted being behind it and that reasons involved Palestine.
